Cor, Ian Curtis...talk about the dark side...but where did that voice come from? Can't have been from the spotty kid with the nylon shirts and the Farah's. And, as for those dance moves, what an earth was going on inside his head?
Great parallel with Syd Barrett / Pink Floyd BTW, Closer is one of my all-time favourite albums and, while New Order knocked out some pretty decent tunes over the years, I don't rate them as being in the same league as Joy Division,but ...some like the early stuff, some like the late stuff, some like all of it...you pays your money and you takes your choice . I think I'll go and cheer myself up with a quick blast of
Twenty Four Hours ...music to cut your throat to par excellence!
